    WKM Crash at takeoff

    If I went all in on a rig that sporadically had these issues i sure as heck wouldn't learn to spot the problem and live with it. I'd dump that fc like a hot potato. Too much money and the health and well being of you and the people around you at stake. Just one guys opinion.

    A2 won't connect to pc and another problem.

    I've used a non dji usb cable. Wouldn't work. I tried using a USB extension cable cause the dji is a little short, wouldn't work. Make sure you are using a dji cable.

    A2 won't connect to pc and another problem.

    5 and 6 are beeping because the default is a quad setup. As soon as you switch to hex they will stop beeping. Don't know why you cannot connect. Do you have a iPhone or iPad? You can connect via bluetooth to fhe assistant app

    Hey. BTW, a csc command in flight will kill the motors no?

    A2 fly-away and crash

    The parachute manufacturers need to come up with a complete system. Robust electronics that will never stop motors unless you need them too combined with a reliable parachute that is both lightweight and can safely land a big rig. I've looked at parachutes and none are good for a 30-40 pound...

    A2 fly-away and crash

    I was thinking the exact same thing but what if you are over a body of water and can't gain control back? No easy answer.

    A2 fly-away and crash

    I have a auto timer too bit the spring loaded switch is for timer reset. I will use that switch for a shutter if I need too. In may I switched my phantom 2 to the same settings and have flown 130 flights since. It has really helped me learn what to do if she goes into failsafe. Flick...

    A2 fly-away and crash

    I'm not sure if you were asking me about my remote but I will answer. My 14sg has the forced failsafe on the left knob. It's very easy to accidently hit a switch causing a failsafe but not so easy to turn a knob 180 degrees. My landing gear, ioc and gps/att and timer reset use the 4...

    A2 fly-away and crash

    Matt. It's a terrible thing to happen. I've had an equally costly crash. It really hurt me financially and left doubt in my mind that I'm just now overcoming. I think Andrew shed some good light on the situation that we can all learn from.

    A2 fly-away and crash

    You never mentioned what rx tx you were using. Just to satisfy my curiosity were you using internal reciever, sbus reciever or satillites?

    A2 fly-away and crash

    I'm following along in hopes to learn from this unfortunate event. So it appears he didn't have home lock but what could be the reason for a loss of control link? The op didn't say his transmitter went dead.

    1100mm hex build. Hexacrafter, T-Motor, A2. Oh my.

    I've built up enough confidence over the last few days to finally attach the movi and camera. I'm pretty happy with the way everything is going. I will get some footage next week and post.

    Hexacrafter to release x8 frames.

    Do not use these to attach the tubes to the retracts. The tube will vibrate and the 2 screws holding the cup onto the retract will vibrate loose. Even when using blue loctice. Use a 35mm x 3mm screw and locknut to hold the tube in place and snug that nut down. Cheers.

    Firmware update (V2.5) for A2 pulled after defects noted by users

    This is a little old but got me thinking. Are you saying you can take a 14sg. Connect to internal rx for flight control and a second rx for camera control and control both at the same.time using various sliders and knobs etc?

    Hexacrafter X8 - Finished and Ready for Service!

    I don't think there is a builder out there that would be insulted by someone working off their successful design.

    1100mm hex build. Hexacrafter, T-Motor, A2. Oh my.

    They are the Tarot actuators, 25mm x 520mm tubes and the hexacrafter mounts. The tripod is sooooo stable. No tipping

    Hexacrafter X8 - Finished and Ready for Service!

    Awesome, just awesome. I second what sleepy says about @Hexacrafter and his products. I will not buy another frame after dealing with Andrew. I may have dropped a couple grand on his products but I probably received 5 grand in after sales service and support. When a dealer is there for...

    2 more flights today. Building confidence in this machine. In the video you will see my "wood box of rocks" which connects by the movi toad in the hole and replicates the center of gravity and exact weight of my movi, camera and lens. I was playing with my atti gains today and checking...
